April 10: Clouds and Aurora

We were forecast to have some snow by Saturday morning so I figured that between that and the shorter nights we have now that going out Friday night would be not very productive.  Instead I opted for hoping for a showing I could catch from my deck again, which happened.  Unfortunately for me my neighbors have dedicated their smoking area to be 10 feet away from my front door and our deck, so I was driven inside after just a short while.

I did get a few photos, though, and the effect from the clouds was interesting.  My stars are not very sharp, but I’m thinking that is an effect of the hazy clouds.
